summary include 2 main events from the poem
summary include 2 main events from the poem
The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy.
Dad comes home tipsy........ his son junps into his arms, and they playfully dance.
We romped until the pans
Slid from the kitchen shelf;
My mother’s countenance
Could not unfrown itself.
Mom encroaches on their playtime with a look that says "Enough, you're making a mess." This is my summary..... what do you think is happening?
